The rise of the dark queen

Grief

Grimhilde and Andrew sits next to a beautiful lake, where she use to practice magic with Auretta.
-It's nice to go outside a little, far from everything, we need this, thank you Grimhilde.
-This is where Auretta and me practiced magic, not long ago, while she cared about me.
-Grimhilde, give her time, I think she will realize soon that she makes a mistake.
-I hope she won't be too late.
-Don't give up! You will get her back sooner then you think, not like me...
-She will forgive you when she realizes that Morana set up everything, we just have to wait until she arrives home, then we give her the results.
-Do you think this will help me get her back?
-Definitely! She will be back soon, we have to go back to the castle too.
-Go, Grimhilde, I need some time alone, I will be back, just give me a few minutes.
-Okey, don't wait too much, we want to wait for you with Isabell, we do this together
-Thank you for your trust, I will be there in time, don't worry! I just need few minutes to think out some things about my family, and what i will say to them when I'll be back.
-Nothing! Because you will stay with us, trust me! - she finishes as she touches his arm, then leaves him alone.
As she arrives to the castle's entrance she notices that Auretta arrives at the same time. She waits her with a smile and hugs her when she arrives there. Auretta steps back and look at her.
-So, you're not angry with me because of our last conversation?
-No, I'm not! It hurt, I won't lie but I understand that you are in pain, and I can be patient with you.
Auretta looks at her confused, she can't understand how can a stranger be so patient and loving with her, when she already tried to sent her away. Maybe she did not deserve this rude speech.
-Look, Elizabeth... - she hesitates - I'm sorry... I really am.
-I know honey! Why don't we go in? Isabell and I want to show you something very important!
They start to walk in together and as they get closer to the castle Auretta stops.
-Elizabeth?
-Yes?
-What is this? - she points to a black form under the castle's window - Is that a person?
Grimhilde try to identify the form but she can't.
-I don't know we have to go closer! - she says to Auretta who seemingly worried.
They start to rush to get close and as they arrive the perfect distance they see a person lying lifeless on the ground. They both stop as they realize the murder scene, and Auretta suddenly identifies the person.
-Om my god! Isabell! - she yells and start to run, Grimhilde follows her.
-Auretta wait, don't get closer! - she yells as she runs after her.
When they just a few steps from her the horrific scene becomes fully visible for them: Blood everywhere, broken window glasses everywhere, and Isabell's clearly dead body lying there ungracefully, with her eyes still open.
-No! - Auretta yells again and goes to her. She tries to shake her, woke her up, but everything for nothing. - Aunt Isabell! Please answer! Wake up, don't you hear?!
-Sweetheart! - says Grimhilde as she bend down next to Auretta, who holds Isabell in her hand - She's gone! - she closes her eyes and starts to cry as she hugs Auretta - You have to let her go! She is in a better place now!
-No, she can't be dead! I love her!
-Sorry honey, she is!
-Don't you hear me Isabell, woke up! You can't let me alone just like my mom did!
-Please Auretta, let her go, we have to take her in, there can be too many people who can see her like this!
In this moment Andrew walks in and finds them.
-Grimh..I mean Elizabeth! What happened?!
-It's Isabell! She is dead!
-No, she's not! - says again Auretta as she cries and still hugs her.
-Auretta! Please! - Andrew extends his hand - Please, darling! We have to go inside! Just give me your hand! Everything will be alright! Please trust me!
She looks up to him and slowly let Isabell fall for the ground, takes his hand and let him help her up. She runs into his arm as she still cries hysterically.
-Take her inside Andrew! I will take care of this!
-Try not to destroy the environment, we have to investigate it later, I think this might be a murder!
Grimhilde nods, then Andrew leads Auretta inside the castle.

One day later

It's six in the morning, Auretta is in her bed, Grimhilde next to her, Andrew sleeps on the sofa, next to them. They had a horrible night, Auretta couldn't stop crying and she blamed herself for this. For choosing revenge and making her loved ones life be in danger.
Grimhilde the first to woke up, as she stands up Andrew opens his eyes.
-Stay with her! I have to prepare everything for the memorial! - she whispers to Andrew and goes out.
It takes her a few hours to prepare Isabell: she lies in her coffin, in her favorite black formal dress, looks like she is just sleeping. People who know Isabell came to the castle, to say their final goodbyes, Grimhilde felt like it is necessary to let her go in peace. Even when the evil is in the castle right at this moment, who apparently didn't even bother to come down.
Grimhilde goes near to the coffin and says her final goodbye:
-My dear friend! You were there for me and my daughter all the time, you loved us, supported us and died for us. I could never wish for more true and faithful friend, you weren't our servant, you were our family who always took care of us, you were like a sister to me! I hope now you are with your guardian angels on your way to find the light. I will promise whoever disgraceful rat did this to you, will be found and punished! God bless you and rest in peace, my dear! - she says as she gives her final kiss on her forehead.

Andrew finally was able to get Auretta out from bed and help her get ready for the memorial.
-There you go! Let's go down! You have to say goodbye, your subject are waiting for you, you have to be strong! - he says and opens the door for now much more calm Auretta.
-Andrew, wait!
-Yes? - he closes the door and looks Auretta. 
-I was rude to you, when you clearly wanted to help me, just like now, can you forgive me?
-Darling, you know my answer! Of course.. I already forgave you!
-Is this means you stay with me? Please.. I don't want to lose you too.
-If this is what you really want nothing can keep away from you.
Auretta smiles and hugs him, Andre opens the door and they ready to say goodbye.
As Auretta arrives into the room everyone bows for her, she gives a sign with her hand, that there is no need for this right now and she goes to hug Grimhilde.
-Thank you for your help, and again sorry for making your life harder!
-Don't be silly! I'm here for you!
-Then you won't leave me alone, right?
-No way! I will be there for you for ever! - she says and hugs Auretta.
-This is my fault, right? I shouldn't call out Snow!
-No honey! This is not your fault! It's her's! But we will make her regret this, I promise! Now, go! Say goodbye, and be strong, remember you're a queen now! Show them strength and love!
Auretta nods and goes to the coffin.
-Aunt Isabell! I'm so sorry! I should have listen to you, and stay out of this! Now I lost you! I wish I could bring you back, but I can't. Even magic can't bring back the dead! I hope you're after life will be more peaceful then your death was! I love you so much! Say hi for me to mom and dad! Goodbye my love! - she feels she needs to cry again but tries to stay strong. Grimhilde holds her and leads her away.
Andrew the next to say goodbye, but he cut it tho shortly because the priest ready to make the ceremony.
-Thank you Isabell for finally trusting me and letting me in your heart. I promise I will take care of Auretta and Grimhilde, you just enjoy your peace, my friend!
The whole crowd starts to walk outside, and be the company in Isabell's last walk in this world.

Morana stands in front of her window looking outside, how they take Isabell's coffin to the royal cemetery.
-I'm so sorry Isabell! I wish i could turn back time and never let my mother inside this castle! But I learned the lesson! I promise you Isabell, she will be punished! Finally i'm ready to do the right thing and help defeat her! I will tell everyone the truth about her! I promise you, Isabell!
